Identity Theft To Skyrocket Under Obamacare

Have you ever been the victim of identity theft? If so, you know the nightmare it creates having to contact everyone and every company you do business with. You have to contact the banks and get them to close your accounts and set up new ones. Anyone you have to make auto payments to have to be notified and those auto pays re-established with the new account. Employers have to be notified to change direct deposits. All of the businesses and utilities that you pay on line have to have all new information set up. Depending on your bank or safety measures, identity theft can cost you thousands of dollars to fix.

Currently, about 8 million Americans a year have their identity stolen. All someone needs is your name, home address, date of birth and Social Security number and they can steal your identity and if you have not taken measures to protect themselves, they can take everything you own before you know it.

If you’ve never been the victim of identity theft, you best be prepared for and check with your banks as to what measures you need to take to protect yourself. Why? Because Obamacare will put millions more Americans at risk of having their identity stolen.

The Department of Health and Human Services is shelling out millions of taxpayer dollars to more than 100 groups that will be contacting you and demanding your personal information for the Obamacare exchanges. Not only will they want your name, address, birthday and SSN, they want to know names of family members, employment information of everyone living in the house, financial information, medical history and current issues.

If that makes you uneasy, just wait. Currently, there is no screening process of those individuals that will be asking you for all of your personal information. They will not have a background check, no fingerprint check and no real oversight. Basically, there are no safeguards concerning the people collecting your information or what they are liable to do with it.

“You might as well as give your information to the widow of that Nigerian oil minister that emailed you.”

He also points out that thirteen state attorney generals have joined together in sending a letter of concern to the Obama administration. They are more than aware of the increased danger of identity theft occurring when just any person hired off the street is given access to people’s personal information. So far, the Obama administration has not bothered to answer their concerns.

Once your information has been collected, it will be stored in HHS data facilities. HHS recently conducted a review of those data facilities to see just how secure your personal information will be. They have not disclosed the results of that review, but since they refuse to share it with their own inspector general, we can only surmise that the review was not very satisfactorily.

That means there are no safeguards concerning the people collecting your personal information and then the safeguards in storing that information is also lacking or not very secure. The bottom line is that thanks to Obamacare, the number of incidents of identity theft will be a lot more than the 8 million per year now. I wonder if Obama has stock in companies like LifeLock?

What did you expect. Anything done by the government starts as a mouse and ends up as a elephant. And the only things that are secured are that which Obama wants secured. Like his past.

When a obamacare Navigator shows up at my door wanting any information, they be run off my property. Time to stand up Americans. Most of these Navigators will be white libs and black who have no moral compass and will sell all information gathered to street thugs.

Any sane person would be concerned with anything the federal government does with anything let alone private information. Government in charge of anything is a disaster and Obama is the poster boy.

They’ll get the same information from me that I gave during the last census.

None at all. They already have more than enough information about me, I’m not going to willingly give anyone anything more.

Another problem with Obamacare is that you don’t have a say in what your doctor has to place in your file under HHS. Your doctor doesn’t have any choices either in what questions they have to ask you.
